Mice and Rodents

🐭 Mouse Control in Edmonton

Science meets care at Vero Pest & Environment.

Alberta is famously rat-free, but mice remain one of the most common household pests. They can damage property, contaminate food, and spread disease. We provide safe, effective, and science-driven solutions to remove mice and prevent their return—without compromising your health or the environment.

🕵️ Identify

Mice are small, agile rodents that often enter buildings seeking warmth and food.

Signs of infestation include:

• Droppings along walls, cupboards, or drawers

• Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings

• Gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring

• Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric

Tip: Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime—sealing gaps early prevents larger problems later.

🔍 Assess

We inspect your property to locate entry points, nesting areas, and food sources.

We also assess environmental or social challenges, such as accessibility issues, storage limitations, or building conditions, to tailor a plan that fits your home or business.

🧺 Prepare

Before treatment, please:

• Store all food (including pet food) in sealed containers

• Clean up crumbs and spills to remove attractants

• Remove clutter and clear areas along baseboards

• Let us know of any accessibility concerns or areas you cannot move items from

Good sanitation and preparation support long-term success.

⚙️ Control

Our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy combines humane and science-based techniques:

• Bait stations placed safely out of reach of children and pets to eliminate active populations

• Traps for targeted removal in sensitive or high-traffic areas

• Exclusion and sealing of gaps, vents, and foundation openings to prevent re-entry

• Environmental recommendations to reduce attractants like food waste and moisture

We also provide clear instructions for handling or removing dead rodents, as they can pose a health hazard if left for more than a day. Proper collection and disposal help prevent secondary contamination and odors.

⏱ Duration & Expectations

• Minor infestations: often resolved within 1–2 weeks

• Moderate infestations: may require 3–4 weeks with follow-ups

• Large or structural issues: may need additional sealing or sanitation work

You’ll typically see reduced activity within a few days, and complete control soon after as bait and traps take effect.

🔄 Monitor

We perform follow-up visits to confirm control, reset traps if needed, and check for new entry points. We’ll also review any safe disposal procedures and assist with removing or locating dead rodents when necessary to ensure your space remains sanitary and odor-free.
